## Abstract
Sonolysis of a hydrosol of TcO 2 n H 2 O was investigated in the Ar- or He- atmosphere. Colloidal TcO 2 n H 2 O nanoparticles were irradiated with a 200 kHz and 1.25 W/cm 2 ultrasound. It was found that the TcO 2 nH 2 O colloids dispersed in an aqueous solution (under Ar or He atmosphere) was completely dissolved by ultrasonic irradiation (200 kHz, 200 W). The original brownish black color of the suspension slowly disappeared leaving behind a colorless solution. This change suggests that oxidation of Tc(IV) to Tc(VII) takes place. The oxidation was almost complete during 30 minutes sonication time under argon atmosphere for initial concentration of 6.0E-5 M. Addition of t-butyl alcohol, an effective radical scavenger which readily reacts with OH radicals, supressed the dissolution of TcO 2 n H 2 O colloids. This reaction indicates that TcO 2 n H 2 O molecules are oxidized by OH radicals produced in cavitation bubbles. Received: 20 November 2009; Revised:14 April 2010; Accepted: 18 April 2010
